Laurie Nicholson's thoughts:

This race. Fantastic race. No race expo to speak of. They do have an early packet pick up with when I went Friday night was no line. Walked right in picked up bib and safety pins was told where to park I the morning. The next morning we were told to be there before 7:20 as that was the time the last bus would leave. The only negative here was there were no signs as to where the buses would pick up for each race. With just over 800 people it would have been helpful to know that without having to ask people standing around. Then what could have pissed off a bunch of people the bus stopped at the back of the line and the people that had just showed up got on the bus first. We get to a small parking lot and with porta potties and a small tent with some sport beans, and gels and such. A few more buses show up and then a cop yells and says it is time to head to the start line. So we all go to the street and stand in the road. Second small complaint. No start line painted on the road. Small sign on the right and side of the road with the word start on it. That was it. It is not timing chipped just gun time but yeah a little more spray paint something would have been nice. The Path, some road, a lot of trail, while it is true it is mostly down hill as advertised there is some hills. Now the aid stations. A plus. Best I have seen, sports beans at most gels and blocks at all. Gatorade and water. The temp was perfect there were only 4, 3 miles, 6 miles, 9 miles and 12. But very well stocked for us slow runners and they were very good at cheering and such. Not to many cheering stations but really not bad for a small race. The end of the race. Plenty of beer, and relief only thing was the pint glasses but was offered an option of a previous glass without a year and that was what we accepted. Or we could have had one mailed. Beer and pizza again for us slower runners there was plenty. Fantastic job for a small town. I would totally do this race again. Last small complaint that I forgot. Some places it would have been nice to have a sign to tell us which way to go or that we were going the right way.
